He’s back and he’s out for blood

Fed up with living in the shadow of his brothers, Range Metcalfe struck out to carve a name for himself—one written in the blood of many a terrorist. Now, he’s targeting the notorious Madam of Kandahar, who has trafficked children and women. Finally given the green light, he captures her and quickly finds himself entrenched up in a deadly encounter that forces him into the Afghan wilderness—with the madam.

Ten years trapped in human trafficking and five of those spent overseeing a compound, Kasra Jazani has little left of her soul. No longer able to live with herself, she takes matters into her own hands and coordinates an escape, a massive coup against the man who has kept her and so many others captive. They flee into the night—right into the fierce and capable hands of American operators, who ruin everything and put lives at risk. Livid, she knows death is coming for them, because she also holds a very dangerous, very powerful secret: the name of the man at the top of the trafficking ring. Now that monster wants her—and her American protector—dead.

My Review

Range
by Ronie Kendig
Book 3 in the Metcalfes series
Rating: 4.8/5

Wow. Sometimes I forget how amazing a writer Ronie Kendig is but then I pick up another book from her and literally can’t stop reading. This fast-paced thriller did NOT disappoint and I cannot wait to read what comes next. Each book in the series focuses on one of the Metcalfe siblings but I was super excited to read about Range’s story ever since reading the first book in the series. I’ve read the first two books (which were also excellent and recommended) but this one might be my favorite.

First, the cover is great and well done.
Second, the story hooks you from the start and you cannot stop reading until you figure out what happens next.
Third, the romance was beautiful, gritty and authentic.
Fourth, I loved the characters and their backstories. Everyone is on a journey and though they had missteps, they did not give up.
Fifth, faith and redemption are woven throughout this story. So inspiring. As someone who is passionate about ending human trafficking, I loved this story so much. I wish it hadn’t ended quite so quickly because I wanted more.

PG-13 for some violence. The author does a good job of using fake swear words and not getting too descriptive when it comes to violence or retelling stories of rape.

Highly recommend this fantastic story with romance, action, rescue, intrigue that will not only give you a glimpse inside the world of human trafficking but also give you hope for what can be done to end it.

My thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC of the book. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own. No positive review was expected and no compensation received.
